ASUWT Balks at Funding Student Affairs Position
by Michael Woodard
The position of Student Life/Activities is back in the drafting stage after the ASUWT declined to co-fund the position March 27.
The Student Life job has been vacant since last January when Rebecca Gallogly resigned to pursue a career at Evergreen State College. GaHogly's duties were split evenly between enrollment database management and Student Life. However, with the purchase ofa new enroll¬ ment database system, a full-time database manager has been procured, leaving Student Life duties a half- time position.
According to Steve Smith, Special Assistant to the Chancellor, "a 50 percent position would significantly limit student access to this person. Therefore, Student Affairs wants to increase funding for this function to 80 percent."
In an attempt to bring the job to a full-time position. Smith submitted a job description to ASUWT. The job maintained the current Student Life duties, but included specific duties that would support ASUWT functions. Finding the money for this position, however, was where Steve Smith and ASUWT parted ways. In order to fund the new position. Smith ap¬ proached ASUWT with a proposal for an 80/20 percent funding split. The 20 percent of ASUWT funding

was to come from S&A fees. Smith suggested this partnership "is an optional funding arrangement at colleges and universities across the country."
However, ASUWT has notified Smith they did not wish to form this funding partnership. In fact, even the office in which the new Student Life Director was to reside also proved to be a point of contention. Instead of working out of the Student Govemment and Organizations Office, Smith proposed the new Student Life director work out ofthe Student Publications office.
When asked about making room for the new Director of Student Life, Ledger Managing Editor, Jeff Graham said, "if they are asking, then the answer is no. If they are telling us, then I guess we will have to give up the room. My only question is. Why wouldn't the new hire be in the Student Organizations office?"
Smith has subse¬ quently withdrawn the offer for a full-time director and has redrafted the Student Life position back to its original 80% function. However, Smith has re¬
quested to be on the agenda at the next Student Organi¬ zation meeting to discuss the Student Life position. Smith has stated that until he receives additional input from student organizations, the position of Student Life will not be posted.
A different position relating to student affairs has been drafted, posted, and a selection committee has been chosen. UWT has begun a nation-wide search for an Executive Director of Enrollment Services and Student Affairs. This is a re- titled position, which was
previously held by Blaine Nisson. The Executive Director will be responsible for all functions and services of enrollment management, registration, fmancial services, career services, counseling services, and student activities. The search committee for the Executive Director includes student representative Michael Kilmer and Sandy Boyle, Directorof Finance and Administration. University officials hope the position will be filled by June 2000.
